Signs You Need Tire or Wheel Service
Tires, alignment, suspension, and steering all work together — when one is off, the others wear out faster. Catching it early saves money and tire life. Bring it in if you notice any of these:
- The car pulls to one side when driving straight
- Steering wheel is off-center going straight, or vibrates at highway speeds
- Uneven tire wear — one edge wearing faster, or cupped/feathered patterns
- Tires losing air pressure, or your TPMS warning light is on
- Bouncing, floating, or excessive body roll over bumps and turns
- Clunking, knocking, or squeaking from the suspension when driving
- Steering feels loose, vague, or hard to turn at low speeds
- Tires visibly worn, cracked, or low on tread (penny test: if you can see all of Lincoln’s head, you’re below 2/32″)

Quick Tire & Wheel Questions
A few of the questions we hear most often. If yours isn’t covered, give the shop a call — we’re happy to help.
How do I know I need tire or wheel service?
The most common signs are uneven tire wear, the car pulling to one side, steering-wheel vibration, an off-center steering wheel, loose or noisy suspension, or a TPMS warning light. Any of those — bring it in. Most ride-quality and handling complaints trace back to one of four causes: tires, alignment, suspension, or steering.
How often should I rotate my tires?
Most manufacturers recommend rotating tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles — often the same interval as your oil change, which makes it easy to remember. Rotation evens out wear across all four tires and extends their useful life.
How often should I get a wheel alignment?
Most vehicles benefit from an alignment every year or 12,000 to 15,000 miles, plus any time you install new tires, hit a major pothole, or notice pulling, uneven wear, or a crooked steering wheel. Proper alignment protects your tires and improves fuel economy.
How do I know I need new tires?
Try the penny test: put a penny upside-down in the tread groove. If you can see all of Lincoln’s head, your tread is at 2/32″ or less — time for new tires. Also watch for sidewall cracks, bulges, or cords showing through. Uneven wear can mean tires and alignment; we’ll check both.
Do you have any tire specials?
Yes — our standing offer is Buy 3, Get 1 FREE on select Hercules tires, available for installed service only with road hazard warranty and alignment.

Do I need an appointment for tire or wheel service?
An appointment helps us schedule installation and alignment time efficiently — request one online or call the shop. Tire and alignment work tends to fill up fast in spring and fall, so book early when you can.
